Ingredients

• 500 grams Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 400 milliliters Coconut milk
• 200 grams Basmati rice
• 1 unit Lime, zested and juiced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 300 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Step 4

In a bowl, mix the shrimp with turmeric, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Stir the lime juice and zest into the cooked coconut rice for a citrusy finish.

Step 8

Divide the coconut rice among serving plates. Top with the spiced shrimp and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful No 8 dish!
